GOP Representative Gosar Faces Backlash for Suggesting Milley's Execution Over Jan. 6 Response

Republican Representative Paul Gosar of Arizona suggested that Chairman of the Joint Chiefs General Mark Milley should be "hung" for his response to the January 6th Capitol riots. Gosar claimed that Milley, whom he referred to as a "homosexual-promoting-BLM-activist," delayed the deployment of the National Guard during the attacks and accused him of coordinating with Nancy Pelosi to undermine former President Trump. Former President Trump also criticized Milley for allegedly going behind his back to communicate with Chinese counterparts. Retired Lt. Gen. Mark Hertling condemned the violent rhetoric from Gosar and Trump, calling it "disgusting." This is not the first time Gosar has made violent suggestions towards U.S. officials.
